What, no Major Tom or Rocket Man?
REM did "Man On the Moon" but it's about Andy Kaufmann, so I guess you could rule that one out.

I forgot about those. I think it because people have heard them a lot.. and by people I mean me :) however it might be able to find a good remix of them. Like I said it just a idea churning in the back of my mind.

I know there are a lot of really good "Major Tom" remixes out there - even some techno ones and things.

"Rocket Man" is a different story. I know there's a couple versions (stay away from the Shatner one) but it's not remixed that often. Depends on what you're going for, I suppose.

Just off the top of my head:

"Space Oddity" - David Bowie did the original, but I like the Saigon Kick cover better.
"A Space Boy Dream" - Belle and Sebastian
"Hijo de la Luna" - Sarah Brightman
"Rocket" - Goldfrapp

If you're going orchestral, then there's Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". Also "Moonlight Serenade" from the Pirates of Caribbean soundtrack. Plus all the stuff from Star Wars, ET, Close Encounters, etc.

Other . . . Not necessarily about space, but . . .

"Gypsy Moons" and "Music From Some Guys in Space" by the MST3K folks
"Shephard Moons" - Enya
"Moon Cradle" - Loreena McKennitt
"Sad Moon" from the Wolf's Rain soundtrack
"The Space" - Marillion
"Big Space" - Suzanne Vega
"Rocket's Tail" - Kate Bush

some of these, I will check them out, and yeah I was thinking of a big swelling orchestral opening underneath the moon speech. and then build into a groove/dance thing. However considering i don't even have the basic tools to do this it just more of a planing stage at this moment

I did a great one in my mind years ago when I was working at a factory but I forgotten most of the songs :/ I hoping suggestion will bring them back.
